    Its a nice place. gets uber crowded on the weekends but I still like Nellies.The bartenders are nice but the crowd is usually full of stuck up gay boys! Oh avoid the greasy nasty food at all costs!

    @ the tiny shirtless asian bartender - I'm straight as a cruise missile, but you're bartending my wedding and/or funeral. this isn't open for discussion.

    The roof deck isn't a dance floor... So why the f--- is the music so loud you can't have a conversation? I mean, SOME of us are capable of more than dancing and sexting...
